Ruana pattern
Darla Ruana Free Crochet Pattern
"The Darla Ruana is an oversized ruana made with a larger hook and and a less fancy style stitch but still really elegant looking, basically without all the fuss of a fancy stitch. This stitch pattern is crocheted in vertical stripes using double crochet stitches with chain spaces in between which works up in no time. I wanted the ruana to turn out lighter and more drapey than a heavy fabric so this is why a size 8mm crochet hook was used with an aran yarn. An oversized ruana is a perfect piece to add for the colder months as you can just throw it on over a sweater or a long sleeved top and it will look great on but it is also great for the cooler summer evenings."
Sweet Summer Ruana
"The Sweet Summer Ruana is a great garment to use to make a cute summer dress even cuter or to spice up your bathing suit when used as a cover up. Designed with a lovely granny square motif that is joined as you work each square, it creates a gorgeous lace ruana that is just stunning! The pattern has directions to make 3 sizes of ruana that are suitable for sizes small to 3XL. (bust measurements 32” to 55” The sample is made with Paintbox yarns Cotton DK, which is a weight 3 DK cotton yarn. Some suitable substitutes are Lion Brand Coboo or Comfy Cotton, Knit Picks Cotlin, and Novita Cotton Soft. Any weight 3 yarn would work for this project, but I think cotton is preferable to acrylic or wool since it is a summer item."
